He actually used the word God and went further and said he didn't think there was an afterlife either.
I only caught some of it, but he said the universe can come out of nothing and because of that, there's no need for anybody to start anything and that since the big bang was the start of time itself, there was no time for a god to start it in.
I was really surprised how far he went. I thought he'd just say maybe or we don't know.
